Know the course before you race it.
Terrain
The flattest Ironman in North America. Two-loop bike on Hwy 30-A with minimal elevation gain. Run is two loops along the Gulf beach.
Conditions
November is the best Florida weather — 65–78°F with low humidity. Ocean water is warm (~78°F). Wind off the Gulf can be a factor on the bike.
Aid Stations
Bike aid every 10 miles; run aid every mile. Gatorade Endurance, water, cola, chicken broth on run.
Key Challenge
The flat course encourages pacing too hard early. Athletes who go out too fast on the bike wreck their run despite perfect nutrition.
